Locking Bootloader after OFFICIAL UNLOCK [ZE552KL] - Asus ZenFone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

This is not a method to relock Bootloader
I see many threads opened on the same topic and closed!
I hope those threads fixed things for you guys.
My situation is Different!
This is not a duplicate Thread.
I just unlocked bootloader on my Zenfone 3 [ZE552KL 4GB 5.5' Model]
After flashing TWRP and using ROMs based on 9.0, I found that we cannot use
UPI [Payment Interface in India (GooglePay)] in the device!
I tried many methods to flash the stock ROM and lock the Boot loader again, But I cant lock it anyway!
I found a thread by @Saktis_Impreza on this topic but I get:
adb>fastboot oem lock
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.014s
I would like to share an idea which helped me Regain Warranty after rooting
and flashing over several times on the device ZUK Z2 Plus.
I'm not sure if this applies to ASUS devices.
In Z2Plus we can make the device tampered flag to false by flashing an
older Chinese Firmware on the phone using QPST Flash Tool.
Afterwards we can flash the latest firmware to get back to stock with locked Bootloader.
I know I wont get OTA since I unlocked using the OFFICIAL Method.
I just need to Relock the Bootloader.
I Hope someone would Help.
Thank You

Hello anyone pls help

Actually you can relock bootloader by reflashing factory raw, typing in cmd "fastboot oem unlock" and then, with bl locked, reflashing the latest oreo raw.
My tool does it automatically.

Rooting B324 on TL10?

Hello dear forum users.
I am new to Huawei but not to Android, having had (and rooted) devices since Eclair.
Yesterday, (Oct. 1st) I received my TL10 (European version). Looking through these forums I was excited to see that Lollipop had just been made officially available, so before doing anything else I upgraded. As I was on B125SP02 I had to first install B130, then B324.
Now, here's the thing. The rooting guides for Lollipop on these forums are for old stock ROMs and I don't want to risk bricking my new baby. I tried Kingroot, but it failed, so does anyone know if one of the rooting methods here will root B324?
Thanks in advance.

I had to unlock first, which involved various running back and forth to find the unlock page on the HUAWEI site, then finding SN, IMEI and product ID. But I got there in the end.

Well, I spoke too soon. TWRP detects that the phone isn't rooted and proposes swipe to root. I did it and there is a small screen that flashed too fast to read, then the phone reboots, but unfortunately with out being rooted.

Yes I discovered that too after hours of struggling. Now I'm rooted and flashed back stock recovery. First time in these things and I feel proud I didn't brick anything [emoji13] After days of reading everything looks super clear I can root anything now [emoji41]
Still waiting for working xposed version though...
Send from Mate 7 using tapatalk
I got the Bootloader Unlock code and I unlocked my Mate 7 using the command "Fastboot oem unlock <code>" and it showed "done". I repeated the command and it showed "remote: already user unlocked", which convinces me that the bootloader is finally unlocked.
However, when I tried to flash TWRP recovery using "fastboot flash recovery twrp_2.8.7.0_mate7_5.1.img", I still get the same error "FAILED (remote: image verification error)". I have checked the XDA pages and the TWRP version seems to be right, as I used the link (https://basketbuild.com/devs/asyan4ik/hwmt7_l09) given on this post only.
Sequence as follows:
Fastboot Flash Recovery twrp_2.8.7.0_mate7_5.1.img

Is there a separate TWRP version for MT7-TL10 version? If yes, can someone provide the link, please?
This is very frustrating because it's a great phone and not being able to root is very limiting!
Xposed runs but not all modules as the Huawei theming messes with it.
As for TWRP, I don't like it and only use CWM which is what I have in my Mate7.
I tried various ways including moving back to KitKat. That landed me on a bricked device.
I then went to the website of Huawei to download the rescue package. After lot of struggle, I could get the phone to boot.
The Problem: I have been thrown off to a Chinese KitKat ROM (See attached) and no matter what I do, I am unable to flash an official International Channel ROM. The flash fails every time.
I am looking for a way to move back to either KitKat 4.4.2 or 5.1.1 B324 version of Android 5.1.1 (MT7 TL10 Model). If there is no root for 5.1.1, I would prefer to stick to the latest KitKat ROM with root.
Help.
Back to Stock Lollipop with the help of @acbka
Now need to root it with a locked bootloader. No way to unlock bootloader - even though 'Phone Unlocked' is shown on bootloader screen, yet I can't flash custom recovery through Fastboot.

Root GEM-702L using custom recovery method (TWRP) + SuperSU

Hi
My X2 GEM-702L bootloader us unlocked. I verified by "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" already.
I prefer to root it using the customer recovery method as I'd prior experience using this method on other Android smartphone.
However at the point of flashing the custom recovery I encountered an error:
C:> fastboot oem get-bootinfo
(bootloader) unlocked
C:> fastboot flash recovery twrp_recovery.img
sending recovery (2672 KB)......
OKAY [ 0.609s]

Try renaming the twrp to recovery. img. If not download a newer version of Android Tools.
Ok after trying for several hours on various updated drivers, adb tools etc still no success.
I suspected the X2 though stated as "unlocked" it may not be fully unlocked properly for whatever reason.
So I did the "fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" one more time and after this I mamanged to flash the custome recovery.
Success finally and I've custom recovery now running ! Thanks.

You know what's funny? When I got my second X2 and went into the Bootloader it said it was unlocked. After I did a factory reset on it, it then said it was locked. I don't know how that could be. Then I used the DC Unlocker program that you mentioned and it unlocked perfectly. I'm glad you got TWRP installed. So TWRP works right? Let me know if you flash SuperSU in TWRP and you have root. Then I'll update my thread to include your version of X2.
Yes....I managed to flash the SuperSU (Beta-v2.49) using the "KangVIP" version of the TWRP.
Now my X2-GEM702L rooted and I can uninstall certain system bloatware and do full backups using the Titanium Pro.
The only thing is to await the 5.11 Android EMUI 3.1 update which is not available yet.

Thanks for the info! Did you try flashing the 703L stock 5.1.1 ROM on your 702L? I'm curious to see if it works.
Flash 703L stock 5.11 ROM ? No haven't tried it.
I wonder whether it will work because the only difference I could see between 702L and 703L is the former has 4 more LTE bands. The other specs looks similar to me.

more info about updates?
is it safe, nothing to do with root/bootloader?
EDIT: DO NOT flash this on official Lineage with Lollipop bootloader, you will end up bootlooping on start, unable to get even into recovery after restart, only possible to get into fastboot which is also pretty useless, since your bootloader is locked
any idea how to recover back without going through flashing all the ROM and everything? is it possible to flash just firmware through fastboot?
EDIT 2: wanted to flash at least recovery in case it was overwritten, but I am getting

Has anyone noticed any improvement with the new radio?
Hello. Has anyone got a link to the latest firmware available for a MI4C. I'm not after the official ROM, just firmware workable with ROMs. I think the last update I done was through andropax link https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=155424 is there a way I can also find out which firmware I have installed I forgot.
Is this the latest > https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890278863836288705

[SOLVED] [Bricked] BLN-L24 Can't boot TWRP?

EDIT This was solved thanks to fc3211
I currently have no OS, and I can't boot into TWRP. I can boot into the stock Huawei Recovery, but that doesn't seem to do anything for me, as I can't download an image from the Huawei site. I can't seem to find the stock images for BLN-L24. All the links I saw on this site and Huawei's no longer work. I'm able to download the Honor 6X firmware from this site: http://consumer.huawei.com/us/support/phones/honor-6x/ but when I load the file into the sdcard, then follow the instructions and boot with both volume up+volume down pressed, it just hangs there.
Any advice on how I can proceed? What files I can flash? I really am not sure why I get a response saying I am not allowed to boot into a custom recovery. When I 'successfully' flash twrp, it still doesn't actually flash TWRP. My best guess is when I loaded an OS unsuccessfully, it locked FRP somehow and prevented flashing??

Search the forum for "FRP locked" and you will see my posts (I had same issue as you and was able to solve it) and posts from others with similar situation.
Basically you just need to use dload to load the stock firmware for the exact same model and the exact same build that you had before your phone stopped working.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73954487&postcount=240
If you use the files from the wrong build or from the wrong model than you will get error at 5% over and over again.
Try flashing elitetwrp from the Elite ROM thread. I successfully flashed the regular openkirin twrp countless times but would only boot to stock recovery, then on a whim I flashed elitetwrp this morning and I'm able to boot to TWRP now.
Reading on the log that you attached, i see "boot twrp-3.2.1-0-berlin.img". You got that TWRP from official TWRP site? If yes, give a try to OpenKirin's TWRP; it works like a charm. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/twrp-t3583413

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I tried a bunch of the packages until finally the oldest one worked. I've been bricked for like 4 months, and finally tried to fix it again after I lost my S8 on Christmas =/
Great! And I am proud of you that you had the motivation to try each package one by one. It was because you did not give up, that is why you had victory in the end.

Help please
Sir I have Honor 6x indian varient on emui 5, past 2 months I have officially unlocked bootloader on my phone and flashed twrp successfully but when I restarted my phone into recovery, it just stucked at the bootloader unlocked page.
Then I found some ways to flash the original emui recovery through some Chinese application, but currently there is no recovery in my phone.
But thank to God that it still has its OS.
My doubt is if I again started to deal with my phone in the way you posted, will my phone can be repaired?? As there is no emui recovery that will install the zip by pressing and holding all three buttons(maybe).

Question How do I unlock my bootloader on my oneplus 9 LE2115

Hi... I want to unlock my oneplus 9 bootloader so I can install the pixen os but I don't see any guide here to do this.
I literally just sent you those links here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-bootloader-oneplus-9-global-na.4448653/post-86929439
Stop flooding the forum with requests, this isn't a very high traffic place.
Saw your post and your answer wasn't clear... do I need to downgrade to unlock bootloader or do I need to downgrade to be able to install custom roms.

You have to downgrade to be able to use custom ROMs. The ROMs require Android 11 because apparently OnePlus posted incomplete/unusable sources for Android 12.
I don't know if the downgrade package re-locks the bootloader so I would just unlock the bootloader after you're back on OOS11. I had issues trying to unlock the bootloader after doing the OTA to the latest OOS11 so I personally would do it in this order:
1) downgrade to OOS11
2) unlock bootloader
3) OTA to latest OOS11
4) flash custom ROM
This still doesn't work for me. I have downgraded to A11 and still get the error "FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')" The device shows up when I type fastboot devices but continues to return this error when attempting fastboot oem unlock. How do I fix this?
Boot into OOS 11, unlock Developer Options, and switch "OEM unlocking" on. Only then can you unlock your bootloader.
You can also search "oneplus 9 unlock bootloader" on Google.
